Fishing Report

[Phil Lilley]

I actually got out the last couple of afternoons and fished with John Johnson and friends.

BOTH days water running 24/7... feels like it's November again. I guess it's because of Beaver Lake being dumped. Who knows.

We drifted basically from Lookout to Fall Creek. Best technique was jig and float- yesterday is was a 1/50th oz sculpin or brown jig with an orange head. Today it was anything pink. Set the float 3-5 feet deep, depending on the depth of water. I tried to keep the boat in 3 feet of water and throw to deeper water. There were trout on the shallow side but not as many. Too deep of water and we didn't get bit. I did throw a 3/32nd jig, sculpin and/or olive caught a few but not as good as floating a jig.

Nice rainbows yesterday. Today they were smaller. Good fighters.

We're going to try to drive out to west Kansas to shoot some birds tomorrow afternoon. Looks like we might be skating over highway 400. Be back Thursday.
